GHSA-g9p5-p7h5-p2wg

GHSA-g9p5-p7h5-p2wg PUBLISHED CVSS 7.5 HIGH

Record from GitHub Advisory Database · Published May 24, 2022

Libgcrypt before 1.8.8 and 1.9.x before 1.9.3 mishandles ElGamal encryption because it lacks exponent blinding to address a side-channel attack against mpi_powm, and the window size is not chosen appropriately. (There is also an interoperability problem because the selection of the k integer value does not properly consider the differences between basic ElGamal encryption and generalized ElGamal encryption.) This, for example, affects use of ElGamal in OpenPGP.
